 was the runner-up of. He received three out of seven Jury votes to win.

Playing under-the-radar for most of the game, he let other people step forward to become the larger threats, allowing him to skate by, despite being used multiple times as a pawn, especially in the late stages of the game. He managed to win his first competition at the final four, which was the most important Power of Veto of the game. He made the choice to evict jury goat Nolan K. instead of competition and jury threat Steve B. He was brought to the Final Two over Steve by final Head of Household Kara K., where most of the jury praised him for being the main force behind their evictions. His gameplay was unable to beat Kara's and he lost in the final vote by only one jury vote.
